Democrats did not save crypto; they just finally woke up in the wake of Trump crypto-courting.
Politico thinks crypto voters “likely” represent a minority, but consider my position as an actual warning sign to democrats — as their literal key target audience.
I am a married lesbian Jewish New Yorker woman who has had an abortion and marched in the women’s march and started my career with a cannabis business and has never voted for the Republican Party.
If you can lose me, you can lose anybody who is pro-crypto. And those voter numbers aren’t “minority” numbers.
Don’t keep digging your own grave @DNC.
Thank you to @SenGillibrand and @SenSchumer for standing up for the industry while the rest of the party toes the incomprehensible Warren line.

I am increasingly convinced that the Kelly Clarkson/Art of Play feud is actually a battle between menopausal rage vs Brooklyn assholery.

We asked what people want most from their investing app. 100% voted for access to experts.
That says something about where investing is headed.
RIAs are no longer competing just with other advisors. They’re competing with financial apps that bring investing, research, and money management into one place.
When people can access more information and investment options elsewhere, advisors risk losing relationships to platforms that make the experience easier.
The opportunity isn’t to replace advisors with AI. It’s to make trusted advice more accessible, connect it to a wider range of investment opportunities, and reduce the friction between getting guidance and acting on it.
Better access to expertise shouldn’t come at the expense of the human relationship.
The problem with copy trade apps and Supertake is that they rely on the premise that if investing were easier, more people would invest successfully.
That's a false choice, and fundamentally flawed.
Ease of execution is not the same thing as better investing. And giving everyone the ability to execute their own investment ideas doesn’t democratize investing. It democratizes the ability to be wrong, because frankly, your ideas probably suck and will lose you money.
@AmprFi is taking a fundamentally different approach. We're not building a better interface for investing in the things you already know about. Instead, we're building a new market for discovering and accessing things you didn’t know you could invest in, in ways you didn't know you could invest.
Neither Robinhood nor Coinbase will become the financial everything app. Not because they can't build it. But because human nature will forever reject monopoly.
Just ask Google.

Silicon Valley keeps building me a husband when what I really want is a wife lol
I don't want an agent that only does one-off, random tasks that are nice but not life-changing: booking flights, making dinner reservations, or buying tickets
I want an AI wife who knows what’s on the family calendar, remembers there’s a birthday party Saturday and we haven’t bought a gift then sends me options, realizes we’re almost out of diapers and buys them, knows which bills are coming up, remembers someone needs a dentist appointment and books it, figures out what the hell we’re eating all week and what we need from the grocery store, and generally keeps track of the 47 things that need to happen before anyone else even realizes they need to happen.
So, who's building me an AI wife that carries the mental load instead of an AI husband that waits for me to give it a chore??
Stoked to bring @MetaLeX_Labs on as an inaugural @AmprFi partner. When Ampersand publicly launches at the end of the year, users will have access to equity capital raises that they've long been locked out of.
If you’re a startup raising a SAFE round, @MetaLeX_Labs lets you create, issue, sign, and close the entire round onchain using standardized SAFE documents—without the usual lawyer / DocuSign / wire-transfer shuffle.
Investors can fund directly, receive a tokenized certificate representing their investment, and both sides get a real-time, programmable record of the deal and cap table.

you can almost feel the collective sighs of relief from menlo park as they observe this absolute fumble
My Supertake is that @Supertake was built for the same thing FOMO was built for: capitalizing on the attention economy vs. user value creation. Will it be fun? Yep. Will users probably bleed money? Also yep.
@ me in 6 months when I'm proven right.
Introducing @Supertake, a new platform that transforms your unique takes on the world into real, shareable investment portfolios using frontier AI and trading agents.
Supertake makes it easy for anyone to invest in their ideas, even if they know nothing about investing.

I'll start from the end: I have joined @VineVenturesLP. I'm excited, a little emotional, and mostly grateful to continue living my life.
This morning @BusinessInsider published an interview with me. Thank you to @meliarobin and @JamieHeller for listening and for telling my story with sensitivity and nuance.
For many people, I'm Noa Argamani, who was rescued by the IDF after 246 days in Hamas’ captivity. That's part of me, and it always will be. But it's not all of me, and I'd like you to get to know me in my new role too.
If you're building something, have an idea you can't stop thinking about or you’re in the Valley and looking to help the most ambitious founders in Israel succeed, I hope to be a bridge between the two ecosystems.
Noa Argamani spent 246 days in Hamas captivity. Two years after her rescue, she's joining Vine Ventures to help Israeli founders turn their companies into global category leaders. bit.ly/47ooM4W
I think one of the most compelling narratives for Ampersand right now is that there are so many normies out there who would love to use agentic investment tools but have no idea how to start.
Frontier models now, @AmprFi tomorrow.
Maybe bc idk, maximum extraction chopped the heads off of most projects last cycle?
Interesting how irrelevant Binance has become to the crypto trenches.
None of the major runners are listed on Binance and all price discovery happens onchain.
And perp dexes taking their perp volumes too.
Plus, tokenized stock meta requires licenses and regulations that Binance lacks so their regulatory arbitrage isn’t paying off in this meta.
CEXs are mostly good for fiat onramp/offramp. But even for this Binance isn’t an option in the US and the EU.
This is great news for the .1% of the population who knows how to deploy an AI agent to trade for you. For the 99.9% who don't, that's one of the reasons why we're building @AmprFi
As someone with a graduate degree in creative writing, I now just insert typos occasionally so ppl don't think it's AI slop. Such a shame I now can't use an em dash -- my favorite grammatical punctuation mark.
And soon: I'll have to eliminate the colon.
No more punctuation for humans.
